ABSTRACT

The study is to explore the meaning of the tourism in cyber space, in particular, with the questions of “Is this cyber tourism a change or threat for the future tourism industry?” The major concerns that inhibit travellers to travel are due to time availability, cost, personal and political reasons. Cyber tourism will allow participants to travel to different places via new technologies for free of the usual restrictions of time, distance, cost and human frailty. Cyber tourism is a new type of tourism experience that entails the use of new technologies to achieve a convenient tourism experience. Is this cyber tourism a chance or threat for the future tourism industry? This study attempted to identify cyber tourism compared with physical tourism and to suggest potential possibility for future tourism industry to practice the cyber tourism appropriately. Tourism marketer should determine the range and scope of cyber tourism and consider not to diminish real tourism market. The success of cyber tourism will depend on how to attract cyber tourist into their destination.
